The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effects of self-esteem in children’s perceived interparental conflict and depressive symptoms. The subjects comprised 248 5th and 6th grade children in elementary schools. The collected data was analyzed using Pearson``s correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis was analyzed by means of the SPSS 22.0 statistical program. If the results thus obtained were judged to be significant or otherwise meangful, has they were then further analyzed graphically and a simple slope analysis was conducted. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. First, higher levels of the total score of children’s perceived interparental conflict and its sub-factors (conflict properties, self-blame and threats) and these higher scores predicted significantly higher depressive symptoms. Second, it was found that self-esteem had a number of valuable moderating effects on the relationship between the total score of children``s perceived interparental conflict and conflict properties and depressive symptoms. This study confirmed the important role of children``s self-esteem in decreasing the negative impact of children``s perceived interparental conflict on depressive symptoms.
